Best Stats for Branch Managers in Dave the Diver

The best stats to look out for when picking a branch manager is by looking at their Cooking and Serving skills. The higher the stat number of those two respective skills, the better branch manager they’ll make.

  • Serving: An important stat to consider as branch managers will often go out to serve paying customers. The higher their Serving stat is, the faster they’ll be when serving customers.
  • Cooking: You should look for Cooking stats at least above 500 when picking a Staff member for branch manager. The Cooking stat will determine the branch’s rank which is tied to the ingredient rank sent to that branch. Your branch would need to be at least rank 9 in order to get access to every ingredient.

The Cooking stat is the bigger one to consider, as this directly affects the branch’s rank. Although your branch will fare better with a branch manager who has above average serving skills.

Best Branch Managers in Dave the Diver

Here are the best branch managers you can pick from your staff:

  • Raul: At Level 20, Raul will have all of his stats above 500 which is enough to get your branch at Rank 9.
  • Pai: Would be a good branch manager if you don’t have Raul or Drae since his Cooking is above 500 at Level 20 but his Serving stat only reaches 490 at max.
  • Drae: One of the best picks for branch manager with Cooking and Serving stats above 800 by the time he reaches Level 20.

Some staff you recruit have high stats in either Cooking and Serving, but only Raul and Drae ever really cross above 500 for both at the same time. This makes them the best pick for branch managers in Dave the Diver. Pai should serve as a last resort if you couldn’t recruit either of those two.
